currently yes, until i find a new bandwagon to jump on

academic issues after the strain of losing a mother to go along with the fact of not being an excellent student in the first place. nothing to be worried about, a good kid who will take care of business and has few years to do so. just not the "student-athlete" and "persona" that the badgers are now starting to heavily pursue.

he has said he really wants to play with fellow aau recruit johnnie lacy (4 stars), but lacy is a severe academic risk, and the only schools recruiting both lacy and wilson are marquette, tennessee, and purdue, with marquette the only school recruiting (still will be recruiting after crean) lacy, wilson, and anderson (2010 5 star recruit) who all play for the playground warriors.

nothing definitive, but you guys are overestimating what lucious and izzo mean to wilson. it's just common sense, a recruit in the state of wisconsin being heavily recruited by wisconsin and an outside school, it's wisconsin all day. luckily for other schools, wilson is just not that big of a priority anymore. he's said good things about every single school fan-service that has contacted him (uw, texas, marquette, msu, even michigan

). i know it sounds crazy around here, but he really really likes the badger staff, including the head coach

. but as stated before, at this point, there is more interest from wilson in uw than interest from uw in wilson.

a case could be made for any school recruiting him. in the end he is neither make or brake for either uw or msu and that's a credit to the head coaches at the two programs.

marquette (mainly assistant buzz williams or whomever takes over) is still the perceived favorite, and iu won't be jumping head into the fray ahead of the schools already recruiting him. crean is history to wisconsin prep recruits. he had a legit chance at wilson, anderson, lacy, davis (2010 top 30, probably top 25), blue (2010 likely top 100) and others in the state of wisconsin and the loaded 2009, 2010, 2011 classes. dare i say, better instate recruiting than the badgers.
